Romantic Torture...919-878-8820. Mike Eaton's Romantic Torture Tattoo is located at 3501 suite 121 Capital Blvd in Raleigh, NC. It's in the same plaza as Chuck E Cheese pizza, just four doors to the left. With so many tattoo shops already in the Raleigh area, what do we have to offer that sets us apart from our competitors? First and foremost we offer quality...award winning quality to be exact. As you pass through the front door of the studio you will notice two things. First of all, Romantic torture Tattoo does not look like your average shop. It's pristine, upscale appearance resembles more of an art gallery or upscale salon than what many of us are used to. One will also notice that the walls are lined with multiple shelves of trophies down each side. No, these awards are not for martial arts. This is the MOST award winning tattoo studio in the city of Raleigh. We offer the public the best work in the area at reasonable prices. How do we call ourselves "The Best?" We don't. The judges of nationally acclaimed tattoo conventions across the U.S. do. />
I'm learning to have a greater appreciation for things around me. I'm learning to respect others. I'm learning that nothing is without it's cost. I'm learning that fighting isn't always necessary in a confrontation. I'm learning about martial arts. I'm learning that all things are, in some way, connected. I'm learning about the beauty of individual ecosystems and the dynamics of our planet as a whole. I'm learning about history and how it pertains to myself and those around me. I'm learning that all life is precious. I'm learning about the vigorous nature of living matter. I'm learning about the technical aspects of quantum physics and relativity. I'm learning about the curious nature of time and gravity. I'm learning about the origins of religions and the icons that have come to represent them. I'm learning about philosophy, which ironically attempts to explain to me why I'm learning. I'm learning about new technology that allows man to live in an increasingly comfortable environment. I'm learning about literature and how expressing ourselves in words helps us to connect and communicate with our surroundings. I'm learning about how insignifigant each of us really are in the great scheme of things. I'm learning about the joy and hardship of being a father. My mind is open and though you may not realize it, while you're drinking that glass of milk, I'm thinking about how the calcium within it was forged in the explosion of a star. My mind is analytical
and hungry. I often have anxiety issues that are surely linked to this. Understanding what and why we are is a tedious and stressful undertaking. I probably don't feel like you do. If I do then I've never met you. I am and always have been different. In many ways I feel out of place in this life and even more so in public places. I feel tired and much, much older than I really am. I generally feel as if no one empathizes with my plight. I can't say that I would knowingly trade it for anything in the world.
